My goal is to help organizations address challenges with an effective and comprehensive cyber strategy and develop priorities and architectures to provide resiliency against cyber-attack and espionage.

Cole is widely recognized within Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Agencies as a cybersecurity subject matter expert for computer network defense and incident response. With years of professional experience in the cybersecurity field, he is highly influential in the establishment of DHS-wide information security policy, and DHS common security architecture including Continuous Monitoring, Policy Enforcement Points, and computer network defense. Cole regularly conducts research on government cyber risk issues and policy and delivers enterprise wide solutions.

“At no time has cybersecurity been more in the headlines than it is right now; however, organizations continue to struggle to understand cyber risk and how to measure success. Given the dynamic nature of threats the communication of cyber risk and ongoing adapting of defenses must be a consistent effort that spans all levels of leadership,” Cole says.

Leading agencies in defense against cyber-attacks, Cole is determined to provide further insight to these high-risk threats to mitigate their occurrences. “My goal is to help organizations address these challenges with an effective and comprehensive cyber strategy and develop strategic priorities and architectures to provide resiliency against cyber-attack and espionage,” he says.
